A caterer for a wedding reception wants to use a recipe for eggplant salad that recommends using 1.8 kg of eggplant for 10

guests. However, in her area, eggplant is only sold by the pound. If 180 guests are expected, how many pounds of eggplant

should the caterer purchase?

The caterer should purchase___

lb of eggplant. (Round to the nearest pound as needed.)

71.42977 (71.4 rounded)

Step-by-step explanation: If there were 180 guests, you'd need to multiply 1.8kg by 18; change 32.4kg to pounds.

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°
